A HAIR PULLING.
The Ladies of q German Benefit Society
Get into q Fight


Get into Fight
NEW YORK, March I6.-About forty
members of the Ladies' German Schut-
zanbund Benefit Society at Newark en-
gagged in scrimege Monday night that
was little short Of riot The members
are divided into two factions, one Of
them led by Mrs. HilsOn, President, and
the other by Mrs. A0nie Smith. The
point OF division was as 10 allowing men
to become members of the society,
Mrs. Hilson, believing that none of the
ladies were fitted for corresponding
secretary, had her faction elect her nus
band to the position. He performed the
duties for year, and when at the ex-
piratiOu OF his term the complimentary
resolutions were ldered and some one
stepped forward to give him a gold
headed cane, Mrs. Smith became excited
and warmly denounced him. She said be
had embezzIed the society's money and
was thief. TIE meeting adjourned in
commission and the next day Mrs. Smith
had his son arrested for embezZle-
ment. Justice Reider, who ex-
amined the books at HIlson's request,
hOnorsbly acquitted him. Monday
was the time for the holding Of the next
regular meeting after these developments.
Before the appointed hour, Mrs. Smith
gathered her forces and went through the
election OF officers. When the Hilson
party entered the hall they found the Of
ficeIs' chairs occupied. warm struggle
ensued for possession of the gsyel, and
then the two factions engaged in hand
and hair pulling match. For season the
slr WAS full Of lamentations and yells
Mrs. Smith had provided herself
with cat-o'-nine-tails, and laid
it around ID the liveliest fashion, while
the gayel was used with good effect by
some one else. A number of men at
tending a meeting in another room
attempted to queu the disturbance,
and the police had To be summoned. Yes,
terday warrants were issued for some of
the combatants on complaints OF those
who were injured.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 16.-Representa-
tives of the trsnscontinentsl railway lines
to-day finished their tariff construction
labors, having arranged tariff
based on the Interpretation of
the new Cullom- Reagan law. Another
tariff designed to meet the Canadian Pa
ciac and water competition first will be
put in effect at once. 1t advances the
present through rates so per cent
Attorneys of the several roads are
instructed to present the other tariff
to the federal commissioners when ap-
pointed, and ask the traEscontinentsl
roads to be allowed to adopt it. The
claim is being made that tariff strictly
complying with the law will drive the
railroads out of through business.

tire system, that fast time shall be made,
and that the equipment shall be all that
is required for the heavy business the
road is now doing.
1t is stated on good authority that
Captain e. B. Daggett has offered to
donate right of way to the Fort Worth
and New Orleans Company over his land
not far from the Union depot, and that
the officers of the road are considering
the question of building into the city
that way.
The engineers will soon be ready to
take the field at Arthur City, and run the
Frisco line through Bonham and
Mckinney to Fort Worth. AS stated
before this will be the main line of the
road, and the company has already pur-
chased in this city twenty-five acres Of
land for depot purposes.
Several gentlemen from Kansas, who
were in the city yesterday, stated that the
gap in the Territory between the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe would surely Re
filled by May and trains would be run
ming. They also said that hundreds of
people were snxiously waiting for the
roads completion, when they would take
Texas by storm.
A prominent railroad man said yester-
dny Fort Worth has no dead railroads,
and l notice the papers here are not com
PEELED to publish notice of purchase by
q different corporation every day in the
week to keep the name of any road run
ming out Of this city before the public.
The rumors published IN regard to the
Texas Trunk are the laughing stock of
the railroad men of Texas. The truth is
no railroad company wants the road at
any price"

VERY FAVORABLE LETTER FROM PREsI-
DENT W. FORDYCE REGARDING A LINE
TO sAN ANGELO.
The following correspondence regard
ing the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
Railroad, one of the many lines pointing
to San Angelo, explains itself:
SAN ANGELO. TEX, Feb %, 1887.
To the Directo,y o: the ST Louis, Arkansas and
Texas Railroad, Texarkana, Tex.
GENTLEMEN-Our attention was called
to your meeting by q notice in the Fort
Worth GAZETTE. From this notice we
learn that amongst other business you
would consider the advssbility of ex-
tending your road from GatesyilIe to
Brentwood. We therefore beg to call
your attention to the many advsn-
tages offered by more southern
extension of your line. A look at the
map will show you that the line from
Gainesville to Brentwood can at best but
divide the trade offered by that section
between the Santa Fe, the Houston and
Texas Central and your road. On the
other hand, if you were to extend your
route from Leon Junction, SIS indicated
on the Enclosed map, via Lsmpasas, San
Saba and Paint Rock to San Angelo, you
would not only travel a country well
adapted to the building of roads at the
least possible expense, but you would
on the north div de the trade with the
Santa Fe, AID south of you you would
have practically no competition. This
road would traverse one of the best cattle
and sheep raising districts of Texas. Our
county alone, which IN 887 rendered for
assessment 1000 head OF cattle and 1000
head of sheep, rendered in 1885 293 900
head OF cattle and 300, ZOO head of sheep.
The country is rapidly settling, as
shown by the marvellous Increase of the
towns along the route. San Angelo, for
instance, which did not become a money
order office until 1882, the first money
order being issued August IL, 1882, is
sued in 1886 over S35, 600 of money Or
ders In addition 10 this it has three
banks, of an aggregate capital Of S400, 900,
doing a lucrative business.
We have no doubt that substantial aid
from the towns and cities along the route
indicated could be obtained in the shape
of bonus If your line should decide 20 ex-
tend this way.
Begging you to commend US if you
should desire any more particular Inform
alton concerning this section we remain,
Yours very truly,
FRANK LERCH,
